Abstract

Poverty in Samosir Regency is still the main problem even though the Village Fund policy has been implemented as an instrument of village development. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the Village Fund in poverty alleviation during the 2019–2024 period. The method used is a descriptive-analytical qualitative approach with secondary data from the Central Statistics Agency, policy documents, and local government reports, which are analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model. The results of the study show that the poverty rate fluctuated from 12.52% (2019) to 13.10% (2021) due to the pandemic, then decreased to 11.63% (2024), but tended to stagnate in the final period. The allocation of Village Funds increased from IDR 95 billion (2019) to IDR 115 billion (2024), with a shift in the use of infrastructure (70%) to community empowerment (40%) and a decrease in the portion of BLT from 35% (2021) to 10% (2024). Supporting indicators also show improvements, such as a decrease in unemployment from 4.8% (2021) to 3.4% (2024), an increase in the average length of school from 8.5 to 9.0 years, and access to infrastructure from 65% to 78%. However, these improvements have not had a significant impact on poverty reduction. Thus, the effectiveness of the Village Fund is still not optimal and requires policies that are more oriented towards economic empowerment and strengthening the capacity of village communities.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of economic growth on unemployment rates in ASEAN countries using Okun's Law and incorporating control variables of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and economic structure consisting of industry value added and service value added. The data used is panel data from 8 ASEAN countries over several years obtained from the World Bank. The results show that economic growth has a negative relationship with the unemployment rate, thus supporting the validity of Okun's Law in the ASEAN region. The FDI control variable shows varying effects between countries, but in general, FDI is not always able to significantly reduce unemployment. Meanwhile, the economic structure shows that an increase in the contribution of the industrial sector tends to be associated with a decrease in unemployment, while an increase in the contribution of the service sector has an effect that depends on the economic characteristics of each country. These findings confirm that stable economic growth and the strengthening of productive sectors are important factors in reducing unemployment in ASEAN. This study has implications for the governments of ASEAN countries to strengthen their industrialization strategies, increase job creation, and direct foreign investment flows to labor-intensive sectors.
